collateral language

Sunday, July 12, 2009

she will be loved

I have aged prematurely
since we last spoke; spent my time
scrawling lines on walls like
long-lost-dead sea prophecies

the way your memories
leave cloying remnants
in my cerebral cortex

but I will wake up the next morning
missing your presence between the sheets
less and less as acoustic chords
strum you out slowly like a
progressive change in my life
